Bassem Youssef explains why satirists aren't activists

We last saw Egyptian comedian Bassem Youssef traveling the United States in the Fusion TV series Democracy Handbook trying to make sense of the American way of life. The satirist, who is often compared to Jon Stewart, now has a new book Revolution for Dummies: Laughing Through The Arab Spring. Youssef sat down with John Teti to discuss the power and limits of satire.
